Dynamics of thermal Casimir-Polder forces on polar molecules

S. A. Ellingsen, S. Y. Buhmann, S. Scheel

We study the influence of thermal Casimir-Polder forces on the near-surface trapping of cold polar molecules, with emphasis on LiH and YbF near an Au surface at room temperature. W…

Casimir Lifshitz pressure and free energy: exploring a simple model

Simen Å. Ellingsen

The Casimir effect, the dispersion force attracting neutral objects to each other, may be understood in terms of multiple scattering of light between the interacting bodies. We exp…

Low temperature Casimir-Lifshitz free energy and entropy: the case of poor conductors

Simen A. Ådnøy Ellingsen, Iver Brevik, Johan S. Høye +1

The controversy concerning the temperature correction to the Casimir force has been ongoing for almost a decade with no view to a solution and has recently been extended to include…

Security of quantum key distribution with bit and basis dependent detector flaws

L. Lydersen, J. Skaar

We consider the security of the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) protocol for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), in the presence of bit and basis dependent detector flaws. We suggest a po…

Comment on "Casimir Force Acting on Magnetostatic Bodies Embedded in Media"

Iver Brevik, Simen A. Ellingsen

In a recent paper [C. Raabe and D.-G. Welsch, Phys. Rev. A 71, 013814 (2005)] an electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is suggested as an alternative to the Abraham-Minkowski tens…

Temperature Correction to Casimir-Lifshitz Free Energy at Low Temperatures: Semiconductors

Simen A. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik, Johan S. Høye +1

The Casimir force and free energy at low temperatures has been the subject of focus for some time. We calculate the temperature correction to the Casimir-Lifshitz free energy betwe…

Frequency spectrum of the Casimir force: interpretation and a paradox

Simen A. Ellingsen

The frequency spectrum of the Casimir force between two plates separated by vacuum as it appears in the Lifshitz formalism is reexamined and generalised as compared to previous wor…

Casimir Energies: Temperature Dependence, Dispersion, and Anomalies

I. Brevik, K. A. Milton

Assuming the conventional Casimir setting with two thick parallel perfectly conducting plates of large extent with a homogeneous and isotropic medium between them, we discuss the p…

Reply to "Comment on 'Analytic and Numerical Verification of the Nernst Theorem for Metals'"

Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik, Simen A. Ellingsen +1

In this Reply to the preceding Comment of Klimchitskaya and Mostepanenko (cf. also quant-ph/0703214), we summarize and maintain our position that the Drude dispersion relation when…
